Mass media (that is the press, the radio and television)play unimportant role in the life of soci-ety. They reflect corrent events & vital problems. They also influence the way people look at the world & make them change their views. Millions of people in their spare time watch TV & read newspapers.

About 3 million people now live in the city Australian Parliament has two chambers, the house of Representatives and the Senate. The government of the country is headed by the Prime Minister. Australia is not only far from the rest of the world, it has a bad climate, too The climate is better in the east and south-east, where most big cities have grownup. But the northern coast has too much rain, and the western coast is too dry. The highest part of Australia, and almost all the mountains are near the coast. The whole central part of the country is dry; it never rains, there are no large rivers and no water there. So there is no very rich plant life in Australia want to visit this country because I think it have there interesting history &also this country is differ than other English-streaking countries.
